What do y'all think about this?
I have mixed feelings. Will be curious to see what all of you think. Puna would be attractive for these kinds of shows which might work for us... or against us. Thoughts?

A Colorado-based television production company is currently casting for real estate agents, general contractors, builders and property investors, who are buying, remodeling, rehabbing and flipping homes in Hawaii as part of new TV series called “Flipping Hawaii.”
Chris Turner, a casting producer for Orion Entertainment, said that each episode will feature craftsmen and women who have a knack for seeing a diamond in the rough in rundown properties.
The cameras will follow individuals or team members in the complete process of buying the property to renovation and rehab, and finally, the sale of these turnaround homes, he said.
“We’re looking to lock down our casting toward the end of the month,” Turner told PBN. “They don’t have to be on Oahu, as it would be real cool to showcase something on Kauai, Maui or the Big Island.”
Turner, who has lived in Hawaii, says that they have received interest from network and cable TV stations regarding their idea.
“Everyone wants to watch fun places like Hawaii,” he said referring to one of the reasons his company picked the state to do filming.
Orion Entertainment, which has contributed to a variety of TV networks, including The History Channel, CNN, ESPN, Spike and TNN, also chose Alaska to do a similar series.
“You've got the major extremes in Alaska and Hawaii,” Turner said. “Both of these states are very intriguing to people.”
